In a Nutshell

Netanyahu asserts Israel's war with Iran degraded its nuclear and proxy capabilities but requires forceful removal of enriched uranium and dismantling of sites like Hezbollah, rejecting linked ceasefires and eyeing regime change amid U.S. aid debates and social media propaganda losses. Louisiana's redistricting battle voids a race-based congressional map, sparking protests over Black voter dilution under the Voting Rights Act, with Gov. Landry pushing non-racial lines. 18-year-old Australian sprinter Gout Gout shattered Usain Bolt's under-18 200m world record at 19.67s, crediting coach Dye Shepherd's patient training for his rise toward 2028/2032 Olympics.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his first U.S. broadcast interview since the war with Iran began. He signaled the imperative of getting nuclear material out of Iran: "it can be taken out by force." On removing highly enriched uranium: "you go in and you take it out." Asked about using special forces from Israel or the United States, he dodged: "I'm not going to talk about military means." President Trump said: "I want to go in there and I think it can be done physically. That's not the problem. If you have an agreement and you go in and you take it out, why not? That's the best way." On taking it by force without agreement: "you're going to ask me these questions I'm going to dodge them."

War accomplished a great deal but not over: still material, enriched uranium to take out of Iran; enrichment sites to dismantle; proxies Iran supports; ballistic missiles they want to produce. Much degraded but work remains. No timetable given.

Hours before interview, Israel targeted Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon—second front, much more Israel's than America's. Possible war with Iran ends but war with Hezbollah continues separately? "They should be." Iran wants ceasefire linking them to keep Hezbollah torturing Lebanon, holding people hostage. Netanyahu will not accept, even if President Trump asks: "he understands... we want to get rid of that danger to our communities to our cities. They rocket our cities all the time." If Iran regime weakened or toppled: end of Hezbollah, Hamas, probably Houthis; whole scaffolding of Iran's terrorist proxy network collapses.
